Of the Two Dates
This morning was tragic.Tragic in the sense that Portugal lost to Greece 1-0.All eyes were on Portugal yesterday,and that lost.Honestly,they didnt play well.Or,maybe they did.But Greece played pretty well yesterday i must say.When Ronaldo gets the ball four Greeks will rush up around him.Thats quantitative defence.My sister and I stayed up late to catch the match,and ended up sleeping at 5am,disappointed.Oh well,as if i placed my bets on this match.No harm done.After all,i am not a Portugese.(Though i wish to speak their language.)

So i slept at 5am,and was woken up at 10am to a doorbell.Here's the scenario,i set my alarm clock to 11am.I crawled out of bed and went to the door.It was a lady in her 40s,and she had a clipboard and a bunch of newspapers in her hands.Just as i tried to get myself together,she started saying a whole bunch of words that i did not necessarily understand.I mean,it was 10am and after merely 5 hours of sleep,nothing worked anyway.Apparently she was doing some survey,and asked me something about newspapers and CPF.

"Do the articles appeal to you?"
"No."
"Do the colours appeal to you?"
"No."
"Do the layout appeal to you?"
"No."
"Do the pictures appeal to you?"
"No."
"Are you aware of the CPF article here?"
"Its 10am lady,and i want to sleep.Go away."
"What?"
"I said no."
"Right.YouR home number?"
(My number)
"What?6287?"
(Repeats my number)
"6285?"
(Repeats number)
"62813724?"
(Repeats number)
"Thank you!"

Yeah.But there was a whole lot more to it really.I forgot about the rest.Perhaps i didnt want to remember.I couldnt sleep afterwards.Thanks a lot lady.5 hours of sleep.Thanks.

Got dressed up by 12nn,and headed out to town.For some reason i had this terrible stomachache.I mustve been the chips i ate yesterday night which was near to the expiry date.Argh.I dont go out in my shirt often.(By shirt i mean the buttoned up kind.)Today was one of the rare moments,and i took 105 straight to town.The journey was long,and the traffic was a killer.So i took a nap on the bus.This couple in front of me,probably in their 40s,looked like Chucky and his bride.They were the most horrendous looking couple i have ever seen.Thin to the bones and eye liner badly drawn.The woman had the lower set of her teeth jutting out,and she held an umbrella in her hands.The man had piercings on his nose and ears,and tattoos all over.Mind you,he's in he's 40s.The journey there was tolerable because of Sock Khim's cheerful messages.Haha.Thanks Sock.;)

Reached the town,and met up with BenJamin,Samuel,Terence and Krishna.Benjamin asked us out for lunch at Swensens,and they were supposed to treat Samuel and I,who had our birthdays only a few days ago.We reached Swensens,and ordered our food.3 of us had Braided Chicken while BenJamin had Fish & Chips.Krishna got Chicken Burger thing,because he had sore throat,and we caught up.Haha.It was real fun,and we made fun of Samuel and his "Rumored" girlfriend.(Which is really just something to tease him about anyway.)It was fun to hang out with the guys again,although it wasnt long.We ended at around 230,and we left for Lido.On the way we continued laughing our butts off at anything and everything.It was fun,thanks guys for the lunch.;)I'll treat Krishna and Ben on their birthdays no doubt.(Coincidentally,they have their birthdays really close to each other as well.)

After that,i met up with Agatha,XinYu,Grace and Ahmad at Lido.For some reason Krishna and gang followed me up,and we saw a familiar face.It was Krishn's Ex!How coincidental!They hate each other,and are having a so called "Iraq War" now.Bumping into her is definitely not something he hoped for.I shouted his name in her direction,but apparently she didnt hear it.Got punched real hard by Krishna afterwards.Haha.It was real fun.They went home after that,and the guitar club went down for some shopping.The girls went to Mango,while Ahmad and I went upstairs to shop for presents.He was supposed to look for his friend's birthday present,and i looked for a card to send to a friend.We stopped over at HallMark,and found a really nice card.But it took us forever to figure out the price.(Why cant they just paste price tags!)That was pretty lame.Anyway,we did that and met up with the girls once more.Agatha left early for some family matter i guess.The rest of us got to the Takashimaya Coffee Bean for a drink.I bought IceBlended Chocolate while Grace got the Ultimate.Ahmad for some reason,bought the wrong drinks.It was a hot drink,and though it tasted good,it was hot.When we bought the drinks,we were supposed to tell the cashier our names.Or,at least the name of the person buying the drinks.So he asked Ahmad,and Ahmad said,"Mad."The cashier was surprised for awhile,and i started laughing."Oh,i thought you were insulting me" said the cashier.Haha.The funniest thing was,when we were handed our drinks,the guy was shouting,"Mad!Mad!"Hilarious man.Dini joined us,and we had a good talk.Haha.Ahmad and I had a drinking contest with a cup of water and though i won,i saw his face and i almost spat the water out.Thankfully,not on the floor but in the cup.Ahmad's face was just too damn funny and i couldnt stand it.It was a little messy on my shirt and pants,but i cleaned it up anyway.Haha.We headed on to Dhoby Ghaut for some pool playing,but apparently Funky Balls was full.So we decided to play arcade.The Daytona was fun,and i got first in the first round,and second in the second round.Got to learn how to drive in manual next time.Bishi Bashi was a lot of fun,and we wrecked the machine by slamming the buttons.The guys team won.Haha.But i was all for pure fun anyway.I got tired and slept on the way home.Phew.WoodStock practise tomorrow,cant wait!;)
